I argue that human sustainability needs to take a more central position in research, education, business and public policy (Meleti, 2020). “Human sustainability is when organisations respect human beings as free, rational and responsible, include them in policy formulation and decision-making and encourage them to build mutual respect with all persons within and beyond their organisations” (Meleti, 2020, p. 36).
My theory of human sustainability is derived from empirical data and focuses on people in organizations. Therefore, my goal is to put this theory into practice and assist managers in adopting the principles of human sustainability (HS) and human sustainability leadership (HSL). This will help organizations, institutions and businesses enhance their employees’ wellbeing, training, job satisfaction, work engagement and proactive work behavior. Furthermore, I aim to assist policymakers in advancing human sustainability in public policy.
